#1 Margot’s Amsterdam
Eerste Tuindwarsstraat 2A, 1015 RV Amsterdam, Netherlands
Holy vegan pastries, Batman! The husband-and-wife team behind this charming vegan bakery set out to veganize popular pastries to make them indistinguishable from their animal-filled rivals. Well, my friends, they have more than succeeded. You’ll have to pick your jaw up off the ground once you lay eyes on these unbelievably gorgeous croissants, pain au chocolates, Danishes, and fruit tarts.
In addition to being the pastry kings and queens of Amsterdam, they also have a stellar lineup of sandwiches made using their freshly baked, house-made bread, crispy toasties, cookies, and specialty coffee. The shop is also concerned about its environmental footprint — they utilize compostable packaging and sell reusable cups made from coffee husk waste. For every sale of the cups, they’ll donate 100% of the profits to the organization Ocean Cleanup.
#2 Koffie ende Koeck
Haarlemmerweg 175, 1051 LA Amsterdam, Netherlands
If you’ve never had the opportunity to enjoy a vegan afternoon tea service, this is your chance! This cozy vegan café and bakery is famous for its beautiful and delicious assortment of savory and sweet tea treats — even the highest of high society would love it. The afternoon tea features a yummy selection of savory mini sandwiches, scones, cookies, cakes, and more. You do have to have one other (or more) person with you for the experience (sorry, no solo tea times) and book it at least a day in advance.
If tea time isn’t your thing, you can still stroll in here to enjoy a diverse lineup of sweet treats. There’s really something for everyone, from light and flaky pastries to passionfruit cheesecake and super fudgy brownies! They also have a small lineup of creative sandwiches and great options for breakfast or brunch!
#3 Willem-Pie: Vegan Bakery
Johan Huizingalaan 76, 1065 JD Amsterdam, Netherlands
Welcome to the land of perfectly fluffy and moist vegan cakes! What started as a need for a delicious birthday cake grew into a pop-up shop, then a permanent old-school Dutch bakery ensuring everyone in Amsterdam can get their hands on amazing cakes no matter what they’re celebrating!
Depending on when you visit, you’ll be delighted with slices of red velvet cake, plump muffins, sweet cinnamon rolls, cherry-covered NY-Style cheesecake, and more! The demand for their sweets has grown over the last few years —hooray! They’ve started selling many of their popular cakes and treats to local businesses, which has forced them to only operate the public bakery on Fridays and Saturdays. Either plan your visit accordingly, or you can order ahead and take your sweets to-go.
#4 SAINT-JEAN Amsterdam
Lindengracht 158h, 1015 KK Amsterdam, Netherlands
If you visited Margots, Koffie ende Koeck, and then here, you might be thinking, did a slew of French pastry chefs come to Amsterdam? Or am I really in Paris!? The fact that there is more than one fantastic spot for out-of-this-world vegan pastries is mind-blowing in the best possible way!
This sophisticated and hip bakeshop is appropriately located in one of Amsterdam’s best neighborhoods, Jordaan — after grabbing a latte and pastry, there is no better place just for a leisurely stroll. But, before we get to strolling, we’ve got to eat, and boy, are you in for a treat! Their menu is incredible, and just choosing one thing is honestly impossible! It’s guaranteed that you won’t be able to say no to a strawberry and pistachio mousseline cream pastry, lemon meringue cruffin, chocolate and hazelnut babka, and much, much more!
#5 SUE Bites Bar

The colorful little square cakes that line the dessert case are like little sweet soldiers just waiting to be chosen — but choosing just one is not a simple task! Everything inside this welcoming little bakeshop is not just vegan but also gluten-free and sugar-free, but definitely not free of amazing flavor and decadence!
The beautiful mini cakes are really the star of the sweet show — tiramisu, rose, salted caramel, Snickers, key lime, and so many more, but they aren’t the only thing you’ll find. In addition to these show-stopping mini cakes, you’ll also want to sample a few cookies, pistachio chocolate truffles, and rocky road bark, just for starters! One more thing, if you can’t visit in person, you can also order online.
#6 Have a Roll
Van Woustraat 42, 1073 LM Amsterdam, Netherlands

On top of it being vegan, it’s also gluten-free and sugar-free — your taste buds won’t believe it!
